Hi woody! I don't know if the offer ends at one person but if not, I would love to take you up on your offer also. Flint is scarce in Staffordshire and trying to hone skills with very little is...

Hi guys,

A little tree identification help on this one would be appreciated. Research and a couple of suggestions so far have led to Corsican Pine and also Douglas Fir. For me, I still am not 100%...

Cheers bikebum1975. Got a couple I'm working on and been asked to make a walnut cigar ashtray so I'll show you guys that when its ready, just waiting on dimensions

Wish you all the best in your recovery and may it be a speedy one, beermaker!

Hi hl9213o

Personally, I collect my wood on walks out and about with my trusty Laplander.

Having not seen B&Qs logs, I wouldn't like to advise but I will say greenwood is much easier to carve...

Thanks Chubbs!

Oh damn, it's a pain when that happens! I had made a Kuksa once but my sister soon took it for herself! Maybe it's time to start another, now you've mentioned it!

I hope your...

I thought I'd share some pictures of my creations after endless hours of mind-freeing, soul-relieving carving!

For me, it's now starting to become more than just creating a perfectly symmetrical...

If I make it easy for you, I never know what differentiates any tree from another because I get answers like 'Willow'.

Google only shows so much! Besides, other people's experiences are much more...

It's a Pussy Willow on the large side then, right? I've never seen one this big!

After heading back and foraging some more timber, I took some pictures of the leaves. Hopefully this will help in discovering the species of the beautiful thing!

After a little research this morning, I was heading in the direction of a poplar. The leaves don't look like a Willow having seen them in person. I will go back tomorrow and take a closer picture of...

Stupid me. What species of Willow, Ichneumon?

Despite the leaves not being the standard drooping ensemble we are used to seeing from the Willow?

Hey guys,

Can anyone advise what tree this is?

Hey guys and girls,

Looking for somewhere to head in staffordshire for an overnighter, any ideas?

Not fussed about wild camping. A night swinging in a hammock under the stars is always worth...

I can completely understand why, Rossbird. It's therapeutic almost!

Yes Jimmy, the first time I've ever done anything like this. I've never thought of linseed oil. I will look into the contents....

So, the other day I watched a video by BushcraftBartons on YouTube, the subject being spoon carving and instantly I felt compelled to attempt it.

My first attempt was using a downed Silver Birch...

That's why I put there's my complete kit, ALMOST. There are so many things I can thing of just sitting here typing that I will add to my kit sooner or later but for now, it'll suffice! It's been...

Today I received my order from Greenman Bushcraft, amazing service. My kit is now complete, almost! [emoji6]

Here is a picture of what I have accumulated so far;

Welcome stingy! You will definitely learn from the guys (and girls) on here. Really genuine people.

Side note; Andy, us three could meet up for an overnighter/weekend at some point if you both...

OAT, get me to Alaska! ;)

I used to live in Barmouth, North Wales. If only I got into bushcraft when I was there, it would have been so much easier! :(

I'll be up for a day/night or two out definitely. Exploring is in my...
